    2. The red and white barrier that you stop at to let down a ramp; And all other complex examples. Make them editor only not usable in a save.
    3. The ability to re-release a track with the very same name as one you have already released...as many times as you like, swamping the new releases;
    8. The UFOs;
    9. The concept of a staircase of crates/wheels/boxes etc...and the ability to even rate it 5*
    .
    I can live with the others tbh. But it would be nice to remove the ninja tag so that only people who understand it use it in their description. Sooo many Medium and hard "ninja" track sits stupid! lol

    Loads of others I cant think of right now! lol

    Edit: Just saw another thread that reminded me..... BASKETBALL games!

    I too hate it when people "sign" their tracks....Even though I did it in my last track

    But I at least put it in a place that made sense and went with my theme. I hate when people ruin the theme of their track just to throw their name in there.

    1. The ability to attach things to the bike;
    2. The red and white barrier that you stop at to let down a ramp;
    3. The ability to re-release a track with the very same name as one you have already released...as many times as you like, swamping the new releases;
    4. The scary (!) laughing man in the background used on literally every 'spooky' track out there;
    5. The ability to place single objects in mid air without some sort of anchoring/connection (complete constructions are fine);
    6. The ability to drive under water;
    7. The ability to tweak the gravity in-game;
    8. The UFOs;
    9. The concept of a staircase of crates/wheels/boxes etc...and the ability to even rate it 5*
    10. The concept of signing your track by writing your name using obstacles from the game.

    Do add your pet hates...even though we all love this game, no game is perfect!
    Also feel free to criticise my choices (can't you tell I love 'pure' trials tracks the most).
    I don't touch skillgames, I never look in the skillgames section of TC, that's for other players, not me. But to want to remove the features in the above list is just selfish. Who cares that you can stick things to the rider, or that you can place an object in the air with no support. This is what gives freedom of customisation and let's you go wild and build what you like. Don't play those tracks, simple as, but its selfish to remove those features for people that do enjoy them.

    The only one I agree with is that you are able to upload a track with the same name, but you can't search by name so it doesn't affect anything. Instead, there could be a tool that let's the creator update an existing track.

    And WILLYUMZ, I agree about the donkey bike, although I absolutely loved it in THD, to me it felt like a mini version of the Phoenix. But its just boring in this game and is more frustrating than it is fun.

    Motion Sickness: I think this is all just a bit of fun tbh. None of us would actually remove most of these things entirely. But the way some of them are used/overused/misused can be really irritating sometimes! At least thats how I took the thread! But I see your point completely.

    This aloud you to create some awesome skillgames.. such as Gravity HD.
    I do agree, for skill games (which I steer well clear of as I don't like them).

    exactly...this was the point.

    I appreciate the point of leaving the game as versatile and varied as possible to cater for all tastes, but was pointing out what made the game worse for me...an ageing 'pure' track loving fan.
    I wouldn't dream of suggesting what others should or shouldn't like

    It does matter when some people upload the same name track 3 or 4 times on one day, and the 'new tracks' section is flooded it would be nice to either be able to update your track or if people had to change the name (or at least were more disciplined at putting v2 or v3 in the sub heading maybe?). There is one guy who has uploaded the same name track over 6 times in a week or so...I cannot find any changes, or not at least obvious ones.

    about the donkey: I love messing about with it or using it against my brother online as he is not very good...wish a few more dedicated donkey tracks (good ones) were available.

    The golf and basket ball games are just plain weird... How can that possible be 5* worthy!?
